This looks absolutely amazing and I love that you started showing more of your personality in your videos. It's really wholsome and it makes your videos even better. Keep up the good work!!!
What a feast! I found your channel on happenstance when I was looking for a rice pilaf/pilau recipe. Since then I am hooked and subscribed. I'm an American living in Sweden and have no connection to the Middle East other than some friends and colleagues from Iran, Syria, Morocco, as well as some Turkish friends. Your channel has inspired me to branch out in my culinary endeavors and I thank you for that. 🙂
Lovely video, thanks to the charming presenter who gives practical and essential instructions throughout! I'm inspired to make this dish!
It looks amazing. Definitely want to try this for my family for Easter. I make lamb every year, but haven't used this preparation before, only Greek. Very excited. Also, Maple cameos are awesome =)
Love your recipes. Middle Eastern food is so slept on.
Forgot to write that I tried Sumac for the time yesterday and it is sublime! I made some roasted chicken thighs and used Sumac on it. It has such a unique and fresh flavor and will go well with many other things such as fish and vegetables. Thank you for introducing me to this spice. Oh, and your cat is gorgeous!
That is incredible. I will be making this exact recipe and process for Easter. Tell Mom in-law, Well Done.
Thanks for this! I have lamb going to marinade today and cook it tomorrow. It looks fantastic!
Marhaban ya Ramadan! Thank you! This is definitely something I will try out!
Love the explanation of onions in marinades. I love onions, so this is great news to me! I really appreciate the parchment paper treatment, too. The recipe sounds just wonderful. You sense of humor is much appreciated, too.
JazakAllah khair for this beautiful recipes..
This looks like the most promising roast lamb recipe I've seen. I've given up using legs of lamb and I know Egyptians use pureed onions to tenderize meat. As you know the Middle East uses a different type of lamb - fat tailed - which tastes very different and superior to the lamb from New Zealand, Australia and North America. There is a grill house in Cairo that cooks lamb that is the best I've ever eaten. I assume Egyptians used to use some kind of leaves to wrap the meat in. Do you have any idea what kind of leaf they used? I've lived in Egypt and I think parchment paper is a more recent alternative.

No clue what leaves they use, but you can definitely use banana leaves with some wet parchment paper on the outside to trap the moisture
Can’t wait to try this! I have a leg, but it’s boneless. What adjustments to prep/cook time do you recommend? Thanks for posting such awesome recipes and helping others expand their culinary horizons! 🙏🤤
Good recipe for Easter
I just found your channel and oh boy I‘m so excited to try this out. One question: I‘ve used to purée/blend onions in the past but they often turn out very bitter, which is why I‘ve used manual food processors that don’t go that fine instead. How do you prevent onions from turning bitter when you blend them?
I made my first roast leg of lamb, marinating it 18 hours. It was delicious! It was a very large roast. We will have lamb a few times this week. Thank you!
I enjoyed your humor in this one. The food looks amazing as always.
Looks absolutely delicious 😋
There's just something about Arabic lamb dishes. The meat always has loads of flavour and is so tender 😋 I'm going to have to try this one, but with some saffron rice.
That looks outrageously incredible!!!
man your channel deserves wayyyyyyyyyyyy more views . inshallah
That looks fantastic. I've never oven roasted a leg of lamb like that before. Wrapping in damp parchment paper is an interesting trick. I'll have to try that.
Wow, those vegetables look good! And of course, so does the lamb-looks amazing. Love the paper wrapping technique,.
Bliss! I always have this with Mandi at home.
Looks mouthwatering 😊 thank you for sharing this. Love the fact you included the onion marinade technique, can’t wait to try & recreate, best wishes from Western Australia 🇦🇺

Do you just through away the onion marinade, or can you use it for something or freeze and reuse?

Made this - with a leg of lamb (shoulder is really hard to come by where I live - even leg is not easy to find). This took time but not a lot of work and it really was some of the best lamb I have ever had. Thanks for the recipe. Truly awesome.
You my friend have a gift and are an awesome presenter, quite apart from the wonderful recipe. This may be sacrilege, but the modern equivalent of the paper wrap may be oven bags.
Fabulous job man, I really like your channel and your great personality. Thanks for sharing these recipes so I can share them with my family.
hi what internal temp of lamb at the end of cook ?
also I had a cab ride from someone from Cairo ...that was an interesting conversation (from the Gulf to Ethiopia)
Ramadan Kareem to all those who celebrate!

Lordy that looked ridiculously delicious. As a Welshman I think lamb and mutton are my favourite meats, but it has done right which takes time. This was absolutely right. I shall be doing it this way in the future.

Kinda scary but my grandfather was a big Italian guy(he was from somewhere on the coast of Calabria) and he would scare visitors by actually drinking grated onions for his lamb roast. He raised his own fat tail sheep, I can find that meat anywhere in my town but it tastes much better(very subtle but it seems sweeter and a tad bit richer.)
That baking paper itself looks good to eat!

I like watching this as a source of vicarious enjoyment because there's no f#$%ing way in hell I'm affording lamb anytime soon lol
Beautiful & so so flavourful but beware of biting accidentally into a peppercorn cos they’re a dentists best friend…I was lucky but it almost would’ve been worth a cracked tooth cos the lamb was soooooo good. The paper trick is brilliant btw. Many thanks
what knife u use bro
I will try this roasting process using frozen pizza instead of lamb.
I made this with a lamb leg and it was really nice and easy, however on the inside was bitsy meat like I mean an overcooked dry feeling, what can I do to correct it next time? - also mines didn’t release juice there was a tiny burny bit of it which I added water too each hour and removed, what should I do so it release more water like yours did and juicy inside?🌝

Hi! Obviously I'm not the creator, but like he said, leg can be a little more prone to fibrous meat in general. Did you cook it at 160C fan assisted? I would personally cook it at a lower temperature than that for longer, but that's just me. Also, make sure that the paper is really secure and wrapped well. Otherwise, it's pointless. Other than that, I'm not sure ❤
man, i love lamb but so hard to find in my area.
Love your videos! Just a heads up, cats and dogs cant really eat onions as they are poisonous to them, so you might want to be careful when feeding them something seasoned with onions.

There’s a physical process happening with the shaking of hot stuff that makes it expand. If you fill a bottle with hot water, cap it, then agitate, it will expand in size. Can’t remember why. But it can be fought with a good sense of humour.

Here's the explanation on a 7th grade level, for whoever might be interested and curious enough to read: The liquid state of matter is defined by it having a defined volume/density and no defined form. Gas on the other hand doesn't have a defined volume/density either and it will fill any recipient it is released into. Since pressure rises with temperature, if you shake a bottle with hot water, it will transfer the heat to the gas (air) in the bottle, that rises the volume, and since the volume is finite, it will rise the pressure, causing it to squirt all over in the worse of cases. I might have skipped some important information, but I think it's still understandable.
Just a roast dinner 🍽
Will give it a go. You don't say the temperature to cook at. If 4-6 hours, I'm thinking 140c or so?

Why does the onion become bitter after blending
Try fasting like Copts, the inheritors of ancient Egypt. Coptic fasting is longer and much more severe than Ramadan. Out of the 365 days of the year, Copts often fast between 210 to 240 days. According to the Coptic tradition of fasting periods, the diet is mainly vegan, cooked with either oil or water. No animal products (meat, poultry, milk, eggs, butter, etc.) are allowed. Fish is permissible during the Advent fast, the Apostles' Fast, and the fast of the Dormition of Saint Mary except on Wednesdays and Fridays of these fasts. A strict abstinence period, where no food or drink whatsoever may be taken, is encouraged for those who can endure it. The original tradition of the Church is for this period of abstinence to begin at midnight and last through sunset.
